PUNE: A circular issued by the state directorate of education (primary) on Thursday said that though schools will have to admit students from the pre-primary level under 25% quota under the Right to Education (RTE) Act, the state will reimburse the fee to schools only from Std I. The circular, signed by Mahavir Mane, director, primary education, said, "Schools must admit students at the entry-level, which could be nursery or Std I. They should not collect any fee (brochure, tuition, registration) from parents and must provide free education up to primary level. Those schools where the entry level is nursery will be reimbursed fee from Std I only."
